PETALING JAYA: More studies should be done on the introduction of a “kill switch” that would stop concerts from proceeding during sudden untoward incidents, say concert organisers.

While they welcome the idea to avoid a repeat of the incident in July that involved a concert in Sepang, Selangor, by British band The 1975, they said the use of a kill switch should consider different situations involving different artistes.
